Hot Summer Nights

There was a time, not too far gone

When I was changed by just a song

On the radio, in my car

The pounding electric guitar

Then the time came to make our stand

We started up a four-piece band

And the heat felt like spotlights

In the heart of a hot summer night, yeah

Hot summer nights

Hot summer nights

Return with me to when times were best

We were friends that could pass any test

We shared our hopes, our dreams, and our goals

And the fundamental roll

As we sang in the hot, dark rooms

Happy just to play our tunes

We felt good when we did it right

We felt good on a hot summer night, yeah

Hot summer nights

Hot summer nights, yeah

So it lives, and it always will

Those songs we sung are in us still

Ringing out with all their might

In the heart of a hot summer night, yeah

Hot summer nights

Hot summer nights, yeah
